Does changing the ini file stop you from getting achievements

achievementspcthe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I started playing Skyrim and got the 'Unbound' achievement.

I was having a couple of performance issues, so I exited and tweaked the SkyrimPrefs.ini file, but now I've just completed Bleak Falls Barrow and I haven't received the achievement.

I did the FOV change in the console also, but immediately left the game (without saving), so I can't see that having affected it. (Or could it?)

Any idea if changing the .ini could break the achievements?

Maybe its because I edited the one in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Skyrim, and not
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\Skyrim ?

I have edited .ini files, used the console, and played in Steam's offline mode. I have unlocked one achievement since reconnecting Steam to online mode.

Editing .ini files will not preclude obtaining achievements.
